If the examiners in any year shall consider that no candidate is sufficiently deserving, the dividends for that year shall be invested at 3% Consolidated Bank Annuities by way of addition to the principal trust fund. It shall be lawful for the Provost and Headmaster to make any new regulartions not inconsistent with the general object of the foundation.
